Spent yesterday and today out and about in my area and thought I'd snap a few pics and show. Just as context, my city's rocks are all glacial erratics from the Devonian. I didn't find very much, nor did I expect to. The photos are not of the specimens I brought home (I still need to do that), but some odds and ends from this part of the province. Saturday's location is a largely abandoned sand and gravel quarry, and was one of the last barriers of a massive lake during the last glacial period to finally break and spread till and cobble love all over this part of the province. There are many treacherous slopes and cliffs, but I am confident in my ability to climb (getting down is a little more amusing). The site is gradually being remediated for housing development, but it will take a decade to fill in the canyon. They also cannot do so too quickly as there is a protected species there: the bank swallow, which makes its home in the sandy cliffs. On this day, they were swarming:

A few finds from this weekend. Fortunate enough to have a cottage on Lake Erie, fairly close to Rock Point Provincial Park which is known for it's exposed fossils of a 350 million year old coral reef. About half were found on the beach itself and the other half in the crushed gravel part of the driveway. I'd imagine the beach will keep yielding new finds after every storm, here is hoping for it anyway.

Found on the beach of Lake Ontario. Completely new to this, can anyone tell me what this beauty is?

Hello everyone, Newbie here with a new found passion for rock collecting etc. I recently found this while out in my back garden. Does anyone have any idea what this possibility could be? Any information is appreciated.
-
Well, probably not, but it looks like it. And forget the 'Point Pelee' tag, that's only where the rock was, definitely not the original location. After a lot of severe storms and erosion at the tip of the point, the shoreline has been buttressed with large limestone blocks from elswhere. In one of them we saw this protruding fossil, And took the normal crappy cel phone picture, which has been cropped and sharpened.

Hi everyone. I'm Jeffrey. I'm from Ontario, Canada. And I joined this forum because I love collecting fossils and I'd love to have them identified. I'm super eager to share my finds with everyone as well as meet new people here who share my interest in fossils as well as chatting and making new friends. Thank you for reading this and can't wait to meet you all!

Known by some as Nanillaenus, this robust example from Ontario was purchased. -
I've been out a number of times already this year, mostly revisiting local spots until the semester is done and I can commit to more exciting locations. Some of my previous trips this month even netted another fragment of Terataspis that will need some patient prep to reveal as anything halfway decent. The snow is gone, and today saw temperatures soar to 20 degrees. A site with about a few acres of dumped mid-Devonian rock just north of me in town seemed a natural fit for the day. I had prospected it before, and generally knew what to expect: a miserable, dense, mostly blank, occasionally reworked limestone with intervals of high energy "beds" (more like chaotic jumbles that split wherever), filled with small horn coral, brachs galore, some gastropods, occasional giant rostroconch, a few tentaculitids, and of course my focus: trilobites. The trilobites will never appear complete in these environments, of course. Although their pygidia occur frequently, other parts do not, and the diversity is fairly low -- mostly proetids. A few representative Pseudodechenella sp.
